Mary Lou: Streamline County Govt

In the Inlander, former Democratic state senator Mary Lou Reed comes out in favor of Kootenai County government change:

I lean toward making the change to establish a culture that is simpler and more efficient. A legislative amendment could make an allowance for additional part-time county commissioners. I question that a $1 million savings can be made immediately, but I believe considerable savings could be made down the road. Proponents are right that municipalities work very well with appointed department heads. As do school districts and our own NIC. Let’s do it. Let’s take the plunge. Let’s streamline Kootenai County government. More here.

Question: Anyone else out there in favor of streamlining Kootenai County government?
